Rose of No Man's Land

Fourteen-year-old Trisha Driscoll is a gender-blurring self-described loner whose family expects nothing of her. While her mother lies on the couch in a hypochondriac haze and her sister aspires to be on <em>The Real World </em> Trisha struggles to find her own place among the neon signs theme restau­rants and cookie-cutter chain stores of her hometown. <p/>After being hired and abruptly fired from the most popular clothing shop at the local mall Trisha befriends a chain-smoking misfit named Rose and her life shifts into manic overdrive. A postmillennial class-adjusted <em>My So-Called Life</em> (<em>Publishers Weekly</em>) <em>Rose of No Man's Land </em>is brim­ming with snarky observations and soulful musings on contemporary teenage America. <p/>
